Hello,

I am rebushing a set of keys for a Kawai XO-5.
As you can see in the photo there is a material on top of the key. 
I do not know what this material is. It is very thin and looks kind of like a veneer or an arborite.
It was hard to take out the old bushings.
Is there anything I should know about this before glueing new bushing cloth?
Will hide glue work fine?
What is the purpose for this stuff?

Regards,
Jack Houweling
